tooth pain

I'm almost 8 weeks with my first. I was supposed to have a root canal done, but I found out I was expecting before I could take care of the issue. My tooth is kicking my butt!!! What can I do? Tylenol isn't working.

Call your obgyn. They will write you a note saying that it's ok to have dental work done. Then you'll need to set up an appointment with your dentist (they'll ask for the note) and that way you're prepared and hopefully feel more comfortable as well knowing your doctor gave you the ok. All dentists require a note from obgyn when the patient is pregnant.

Ice it. And get the dental work done, you don't want an infection, that is a much higher risk that a root cabal
